Use Billing Data for Savings Widget Calculations

The Savings Widget currently bases its savings potential on CSP list prices. 

However, since most organizations have discounted rates per SKU, the projected savings amounts may not reflect actual cost reductions.

Request is to integrate billing data into the Savings Widget to provide more accurate savings projections.
This would deliver more realistic and actionable cost optimization.

    hi Jamie, It's not a problem tu use the optimization plan and as you mentioned "the plans don't currently use this" as that might be the reason why support asked me to raise this idea.
